Maybe it has some great depth or flake that will save it.

That’s how I feel about HyperBlue hahah

Ever notice it seems as though as time goes on, prices go up, but in relation to prices going up you don't exactly get more (extras, performance +) in proportion to the price increase.

The '17 PP BRZ , or my RS2 is pretty much where the buck stops with this vehicle… at roughly $28-29k invoice. Otherwise, just spend the $25k , and get a base/premium 86/ BRZ in the color you can live with.

I'm digging it. While it's no Cool Gray Khaki, I thought about it and put my expectations in check a bit. While it would be nice to have something a little more bold as a color, we have to bear in mind that Subaru is making close to 6,000 of these specials in total. While they may sell through their Hyper Pink STis and BRZs no problem, it may be a tougher sell on their Legacy and Outback folks.

Yeah, I actually quite like the classy, desaturated heritage blue, especially with the silver mirrors and wheels. I wish there was a 50th AE tS.

Welcome to the world of inflation!

MSRP for 2018 Subaru WRX STI Type-RA = $49,000
MSRP for 2015 Mitsubishi Evolution 10 MR = $39,500
MSRP for 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution 9 MR Special Edition = $33,300
MSRP for 2018 Subaru BRZ tS = $33,500

Less is more these days.

[Adam_L]

Yes, less is more.

I get the whole inflation answer/response , but even more so then that it's the manufactures comparing their offering to what other manufactures have to offer ( what you get, dollar for dollar).

Look at full size truck prices now, it's a scary market out there. $44k for an upper end Tacoma…..$50 (gas)-64k (could be diesel) for a full size pick up (GMC , Dodge) , or could be $70-75k for a Diesel with all bells/whistles. 10 years ago, you could get a nice Full size between $32k- $40k.

Can anyone list the invoice prices for the various 2018 trims? Premium, Limited, Automatic, Manual, PP, etc?

I can get in the ballpark by extrapolating the 2017 numbers, but exact figures would be useful.

Would like to have this info as well. Not planning on ordering until the end of February, but would like to have this info when negotiating with the dealer.

If anyone has the invoice price of the add-ons, specifically the sti short throw shifter, that would be great as well.

IIRC invoice varies by geographic location. Someone from a dealer can feel free to say I’m wrong tho.

[Veloist]

If you want to know the invoice of a car, buy your own car dealership and you’ll know the invoice to every single car you have in stock.

Haha =p

It’s actually against Subaru’s retailer code of conduct to post or advertise the invoice of a car, unless it’s an emailed or written quote.

Edit: Some people have PM’d me with pricing on deals they’re trying to make with their dealership. I’d be thrilled to help out anybody who needs advice via PM, because I understand a component of getting a good deal is comparing the purchase price relative to dealer invoice.

Vehicle invoices are pretty consistent. It’s the accessories that can differ.

Great look at the badge / terrible look at the color.

I wouldn't really say it's ugly. Just not flashy. Could be a good color for someone who wants their BRZ to be a sleeper lol.
